Lots of you already having your say today via text but if you want to double down, like Emil in Stroud this morning, we have a poll running at the top of this live page.

A simple yes or no for this one.

However, for those in the no camp - if Yamal isn't the best player in the world right now, then who is?

You know what to do!

Speaking to US broadcaster CBS Sports, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said: “That was like watching Messi in his heyday. When he got the ball, the whole game stopped as people wait to see what he's going to do.

“We always felt Mbappe and Haaland would be the next two [best players in the world after Messi and Ronaldo]. I don’t think Haaland will ever be that, he’s just an out-and-out goalscorer.

“The way Yamal played tonight, I won’t say he’s better than Mbappe now, but there is more to him. He will get involved in the game more and pull out wide.”

Lamine Yamal speaking to TNT Sports: "I try to forge my own path. I try to play the way I know how and not think about anything.

"I think that’s the trick, that’s the secret, to try to do my best and not compare myself with anyone.

"I’m following my path, giving my all, and it’s been working out for me so far, but I still haven’t achieved anything.

"I’ll try to play the same or better in the second leg and hopefully we’ll win."

A little later we'll be turning our attentions to a huge night in the Europa League for Manchester United and Tottenham.

And we've got our BBC Sport's chief football news reporter Simon Stone and senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel on hand to take your questions.

What would you like to ask them today?

On Man Utd and Tottenham's chances of winning a European trophy? Or maybe about the Champions League action from this week? But feel free to stray the path a *little* bit should you wish.

Get your questions in using the usual methods and the two will try and answer as many as they can for you lot.

Rain!? It's scorching down here, Neil!

You do make a serious point though and I think it's a very genuine concern of a lot of managers and professionals in the game.

How about Wayne Rooney at the same age? He was just 16 years old when he scored his first Premier League goal, a superb match-winner against an Arsenal side who were then the defending champions.

By the time he had turned 18, Rooney had registered 55 appearances, 12 goals, 3 assists. He had also scored twice in eight internationals for England.

A few years before that, Michael Owen emerged as a teenage star across Stanley Park. He had turned 17 before scoring on his Premier League debut for Liverpool in May 1997.

The following season he scored 23 goals from 44 appearances, and when he turned 18 he had racked up 24 appearances, 9 goals, 5 assists.

• Lamine Yamal at 17-years-old: 100 appearances, 22 goals, 33 assists.

A few of you making the Ansu Fati comparison this morning.

I think it's a fair one but also feel like you kind of know deep down when a player is going to potentially fade.

Simply can't see that happening with Yamal.

Good time for us to look at comparisons with what some other familiar faces had achieved at 17, though.

Lamine Yamal plays with a level of confidence I don't think we've ever seen of a player that age and there were question marks as well before the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid whether or not he was getting too cocky, too big for his boots and he said "well until they defeat us I can speak what I like."

He just has no fear. He has such skill with the ball. He has such confidence in what he is doing.

Right, this tug-of-war between Emil in Stroud and well, everyone else, could go on all day so let's try and stray away from that a little now.

You've certainly saved me a job in sparking a debate though, cheers Emil.

Lamine Yamal has a trophy cabinet many players could only dream of having in their career - at 17-years-old.

So far for club and country, his honours list is as followed:

• Euro 2024 title
• La Liga champion x1
• Copa del Rey x1
• Spanish Super Cup x1

And that list could grow even further come the end of this month.
